Morphology

warmish = warm (transparent) = warm + ish

Formed by adding the common adjectival suffix '-ish' to 'warm', yielding the predictable meaning 'somewhat warm'.

Etymology

Warmish is just warm plus the ending -ish, which means 'somewhat' or 'a little', like in greenish or when people say 'sixish' for 'around six'. So, warmish means 'a little' warm, not very hot.
